Overview of BIS Certification Bureau of India Standards (BIS) is a product certification scheme aims at providing Third Party Guarantee of quality, safety and reliability of products in India market place (mandatory beginning July 2013)

India originally announced the implementation of 15 specific types of electrical equipment under the CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) for BIS certification. There are currently three (3) lists of products under CRS scheme.

Component parts of finished products, spare parts and replacement parts, may in some cases require BIS certification

Products applied for BIS certification must conform to Indian (IS) standards and/or other additional technical requirements

First step is to determine if your product falls under mandatory BIS category

Using “Tariff Code” or “HS Code” is the most efficient way to find out if a product falls under mandatory BIS certification

CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) was introduced by Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY – now MeitY) along with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

This program was designed for the manufacturer (Applicant) and unique registration is granted for each manufacturing location (Factory). Registration is granted based on:

ü  Manufacturer = Factory location (Each Location) ü  Brand Name ü  Product type

Registration Validity: Registration is valid for two years and can be renewed if there is no change in the product and the standard (each factory per Registration No.)

As per the Series guidelines issued by DeitY (now MeitY), a report can cover maximum of ten (10) models in a series under ITE category. Other categories have different requirements

BIS Documentation For the Quick Start guide, basic items that are needed are: Products name, model number, product content, basic installation, and operating instructions, equipment rating (voltage/current), company information, any warning and cautionary statements

The quick start guide can be a summary of the manual which generally is one to a two-page document. It should contain basic instruction, rating, and any safety warning information (English o.k.)

If a series of equipment is being certified, a formal letter describing the differences needs to be provided

Power Cable (input) – for India the power cord used (shipped with the product). The company will need to obtain the BIS certificate from the power supply manufacturer

Case Study - BIS Certification Submitting Samples & Testing

Once BIS issues a formal Application number to the Applicant (via CRS Portal), samples can now be sent to India for evaluation and testing (Independent Lab in India)

Pay special attention to Customs Clearance issues

There are numerous labs in India that have been designated by BIS to perform evaluation and safety testing (as of 2017, there are many more – becoming competitive)

Generally, 2 samples are required to be sent to India but 1 sample is o.k.

Preparing test samples as well as having all of the proper information when shipping products to India for testing may be a bit confusing

Generally, a Custom Agent is required to pick up test sample and deliver to testing laboratory (using a qualified Customs Clearance agent is very important) (Consider using Carnet method)

Case Study - BIS Certification Submitting Samples & Testing

Importer of Record (IOR) should be the assigned test lab in India. Only BIS exemptions are given to a test laboratories (if not use Carnet) Maximum 5 samples are allowed in single shipment (except battery and lighting) Should provide copies of documentations to IOR/Agent for verification, including the shipping invoice, full description of contents along with declared value IOR/Agent should be informed before shipment and be able to track the package Consider Carnet for importing test samples (save tax and custom duty)! New CRS Portal – cannot start BIS testing until registration has been submitted on the CRS portal Movement of shipment from one state to another within India needs to be restricted as this involves documentation (way bill) which labs are not able to provide as they are not registered with sales tax authorities

BIS Mark & Labeling •  From July 1, 2016, it is mandatory to use the IS Mark on the product

label

•  The photographic reduction and enlargement of the IS Mark is permitted

•  The IS Mark should be clearly visible, legible, indelible and non-removable on the label

•  The font size should be not be less than Arial font size 6

•  If the product is small then the IS Mark can be displayed on the packaging of the product

•  The color scheme for the IS Mark has to be as per the attached

•  The IS Mark cannot be used on un-registered product

•  The BIS website (www.bis.gov.is) needs to be labeled on the product or packaging (recently implemented on Sept. 2019)

Impacts Of Smart Registration

Address verification is compulsory to initiate the process

Testing cannot be initiated without TRF and QR code on the sample

Advance booking of samples is not possible. Projects will be executed on first come first serve basis

Any modification in Ratings, Model numbers, Series models and Brand name is not possible once testing is started

Lack of document may force the lab to cancel the project since they have to meet the timeline

Surveillance

  MeitY with the help of STPI will process the surveillance of the products registered with BIS as and when required

  Samples will be purchased at random from market for this activity

  If the samples are not available in market and, STPI will visit the AIR to collect the samples

  Testing will be conducted in any random lab selected by STPI

  The fee for conducting the surveillance including the fee for purchase of samples must be deposited to MeitY well in advance

  If the sample gets failed in process, the registration will be liable for cancellation

Case Study - BIS Certification Purpose of creating STPI portal (New BIS Surveillance Registration Process):

  Help to keep real time track of surveillance activities.

  Help to view the status of surveillance, deposit paid, due amount and the amount to be replenished after surveillance.

  Help to register new BIS registration numbers and to pay the surveillance charges online via portal.

Timeline: Nov. 30th, 2019 is the current deadline to register all your existing R-number against which amount has been paid. ** Timeline may be extended in case of any variant.

Procedure/ Instructions: In order to view the process/instructions, please visit the following link - https://crsbis.stpi.in/InstructionForRegisteration.php

Key points:

  STPI portal will get more updates for new registration numbers against which payment has not been done yet.

  Manufacturer/ AIR/ Brand Owner will register the new number and pay the surveillance amount online before Nov. 30th, 2019.

  Portal will be updated to upload the proof of document in case there is any update on AIR/ manufacturing details.

Random BIS Surveillance

Once a year, Meity (formerly Deity) randomly chooses a BIS certified product to meet random sample safety testing as a way to satisfy BIS surveillance requirement. Meity also randomly assigns a local test lab to carry out this surveillance activity Meity then contacts the factory/local representative with the test lab information and it is up to the factory/local representative to carry out this order with the assigned test lab (extremely inefficient and confusing) The factory/local representative typically has 15 business days to comply with this order after the notice is issued by Meity (normally not enough time) The assigned test lab will take care of the storage of samples as per Meity’s directive It is up the the factory/local representative to comply with this order, coordinate with the test labs, provide a test sample as well as payment of test & report fees The lab will carry out the testing and provide a report to Meity in order to complete this BIS surveillance order

Wireless WPC Certification

WPC stands for Wireless Planning & Coordination of India WPC is a National Radio Regulatory Authority WPC was created in 1952. Similar to FCC in the U.S. WPC is responsible for Frequency Spectrum Management in India WPC exercises the statutory functions of the Central Government and issues licenses to establish, maintain and operate wireless stations in India WPC certification is required for all wireless devices in India Factory inspection is not required

WPC is divided into three (3) major sections: ü  Licensing and Regulation (LR) ü  New Technology Group (NTR) ü  Standing Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency

defined between 3 KHz to 3000 GHz. So, if devices operate outside of these frequencies, WPC does not regulate them. 1. Application for WPC Type/Series/Modular Approval 2.
